THE GLEANER GRAHAM, N. C., OCT. 28, 194J ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY J. D.KERNODLE, Editor $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE Bute red at ?iu Foatoffloe at Qrabam. .N. C.. At ^uod-cluM matter. When two tankers collided otl the coast of Florida recently 88 sailors lost their lives and 28 sur. vivcrs were picked up. Some 25 thousand Alabama coal miners are out on a strike again, and the number has been greatly increased by strikes in other areas. The government may have to step in again. Coal is vital in the production of war equipment. Strikes do not help ?they put the end of the war further away and add many mil lions to the cost. Washington keeps talking about a paper shortage. Of course the thousands of government em ployees have to make a show of doing something, so they write millions of letters that are mailed out by the car load. If a few train loads of unneeded clerks were shipped out, it would ma terially reduce the paper short age and save government millions * * ?J? ?1 * !--- J * paid out in salaries, insieau 01 economizing, it looks like every one who can do so is bleeding the government. That the war will end one of these days?millions hope the day is not a long way off?and then the day of reckoning. Look ing to that day, United secretary of state Cordell Hull, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Soviet Russia Foreign Com misser Vvacheslav Molotov aw holding a meeting in Moscow to discuss post-war problems. They held their first meeting Tues day night of last week and have met daily. Their conferences are to iron out problems that are ex pected to come when President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Win ston Churchill and Primier Jo seph Stalin meet. The planning is all on the presumption that the United Nations will win the war and dictate the terms of the peace.

NAZI FREE CRIMINALS, LOOT, BURN, DESTROY The C mans when driver Sack by the Russians left i scorched earth, it wa reported but almost unbelievable.

Some an here briefly recounted: One of the charges is that th< nazi, just before fleeing Naples threw open the doors of 18 pris ons for dangerous criminals. Mer who had been sentenced to lonj terms for everj crime of th< very worst. Thousands of these criminal) were roaming the streets of Na pies when the allies entered th< city. A condensed report said: ?Taww x "N The Germans collectively and individually robbed shops, homes I and even people in the streets. , "There were many murders, including those of sadistic nature I wherein dead bodies were muti lated, especially those of women. "German booby traps were placed where they might be set off not only by our troops but by civilians, including children^ many of whom were killed. > "There was much wanton de struction of property, with physi-! cal harm to people. f | Food supplies were destroyed ' or fouled. Cruel measures were taken against Italians between 18 and 35 years of age who failed to respond to the German de mands for forced labor. Many 1 people, including women, were beaten to make them disclose 1 the whereabouts of supposed < uolnoKlns 9 (?UHHWtVW. Destruction of the University of Naples, described as "one of | the oldest and most famous in existence," was detailed. "The library of the Royal So ciety of Naples, one of the great learned societies of the world, was housed in the university," the report said. "It was put to the torch on the I2th of Septem ber, a little ovre a fortnight be fore we took the city. We are collecting affidavits of faculty members and students who agree that some 600 Germans entered the university, announcing that they were about to burn it in retaliation for fighting by Nea politan students against their ? troops. "Cans of gasoline were brought in and the walls, furniture and books covered with it and a fire started. Firemen arrived imme diately but were refused admit tance. "Two carabinicrs who tried to ? halt the destruction were taken to the front entrance and shot. ' Witnesses avow that the notori ous Colonel Scholl, commander of the German troops at Naples, > arrived when the work of de struction was under way and ; read a proclamation in Germany and Italian announcing that the university was being wrecked as : a punishment to the city of ' Naples." 1 TTtro?nr+Vi?*i?

Rotate and Fertilise to Check 'Big Root* Menace Root-knot, often called "Big root," causes considerable losses in farm home gardens every year, and How ard R. Garriss, plant pathologist, urges growers to protect their vege table crops against the attacks of the microscopic eel-worms, which cause this disease. He suggested a rotation of the garden site to new land, if possible. Also, that the grower watch espe cially the tomato, pepper and cab Dafe plants, which he Hti, to m? that tha root* are clean and have no (alia or swellings. As a protective measure, no peelings from Infected potato, carrot, parsnips, or other root crops should be thrown upon the garden site. Adequate fertilization also will pro mote good root growth and will help the plants to better withstand a part of the root-knot damage. Pure ani mal manures and commercial fer tilizer do not carry eel worms. These pests enter the roots of the plants to causa the trouble. Oarriss pointed out that beans, as a group, are susceptible to root-knot, but that the half-runner beans of the Refugee type are vigorous enough to make a good yiald in spite of root-knot attack. Sweet corn, field corn, and the Porto Rico and Jersey varieties of sweet potatoes are rela tively resistant to tha disease. OnMak? Petal Losses in pigs have beea reported and more will result if farmers fail to keep their swine away from areas where cockleburs are growing.

Prank Knox, Sacra KSmmmm tary of tha m Nary. BuyingWar Bonds to the point of temporary personal sacrifice is the meet di rect way you can comply with Secretary Knox's appeal. "Temporary sacrifice" is the correct phrase because you are only lending your money whan you buy War Bonds. This gov ernment which never has de faulted on an obligation will pay you back ft for every $3 invested if you hold the bonds tor 111 years.

Itoward the close of last week prices began to decline. Some grades fell off as much as seven cents or more per pound. The greatest decline was in the lower grades. Governor Broughton was ap pealed to in the matter and de clared the holiday, which will give time to clean up and to reach an understanding about prices. It is presumed now that sales will start again next week, but that is not definitely certain. No good reason is known or given for the sudden slump in prices of tobacco, as the while there is an upward trend in the prices of other products.
